I find it odd that something has yet to surface about any of the details for this year. I doubt anything would change (based on the fact HQ makes a pile of money from the Open)

However, in 2012, they announced the dates towards the end of October. Last year the dates were known by the end of November, and this year.....almost the end of 2013 and still nothing.

My guess is a similar time frame and format to last year, but as no one has yet to hear anything and it is so well known that the last three years has been a total of 14 movements, are we about to see something different for a qualifier ?

Also, hopefully they make the change and make competitors declare Individual or Team. Some of the competitors in the Team comp at Regionals were clearly not at that level and some better competitors had to watch a mediocre Competition.

Help out a newb. So CF releases a workout every week for five weeks. Athletes that want to compete at regionals do each of the five workouts, and submit their scores. Must the athletes do each workout in a specified time? Do they have to submit their score before the next workout is posted? And the athletes with the best combined score in each region get to go to regionals? Are scores posted publicly as they're submitted?

Actually, the timeline is usually just till Sunday I think, and then the next workout isn't announced till Thursday.And the athletes with the best combined score in each region get to go to regionals? Yes.Are scores posted publicly as they're submitted? Yes.
